I am guessing the reason they target Colleges is because that is where the majority of illegal downloading occurs. Also, targeting kids in Colleges gets more press coverage than just targeting "Joe Smith" the individual. More press coverage means that perhaps more people will be scared to download songs illegally.

GlassJaw said:It's really not that simple. I'm not going to get into a huge discussion on this because it's a topic that's rife with misinformation. If you are truely interested in the topic, all I would say is to do some in-depth reading on your own. It's not a black and white issue as many want to make it out to be.
